Focus students attention on the pictures and new words, first eliciting possible meanings, and assisting if they don't understand. Use the matching word/phrase exercise, Pair-work to encourage interaction. Use concept questions to check the students understanding of new words and phrases, drilling

First Listening (5-5 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific info listening task

Sts listen to text, are asked to write down what they think the article is about, do they believe it to be fact or fiction, and why? Can they think of any story or movie that this might relate to? Show Jungle Book picture

If they were to grow up with animals, which ones and why? T= monitor students, taking notes of anything interesting to ask the students about in feedback time( make sure the groups of 4 are a range of proficiency levels)
